Work with SAP Business One

SAP Business One Data Model

The driver connects to SAP Business One Service Layer, an OData service, to model entities in relational Tables and Views. The table definitions are dynamically obtained from the SAP Business One Service Layer. Any changes in the metadata, such as added or removed columns or changes in data type, can be loaded by reconnecting.

Read about the data model.

SQL Compliance

The connector supports several operations on data, including querying, deleting, modifying, and inserting.

Extract data from SAP Business One

Extracting data from SAP Business One is similar to extracting data from the relational database.

Step 1. Create SAP Business One Connection which will be used as a source (FROM).

Step 2. Create a destination Connection, for example, a Connection to the relational database, and if needed, a Format (Format is not needed if the destination is a database or well-known API).

Step 3. Create a Flow where the source is a database and the destination is a Connection created in step 2, for example, a relational database.

Step 4. Add a new source-to-destination transformation.

Step 5. Select the SAP Business One Connection created in step 1 as a source Connection and select the data object you are extracting data from.

Step 6. Select TO Connection, Format (if needed), and object (for example database table) to load data into.

Step 7. Click MAPPING and optionally enter Source query (you don't need a query if you are extracting data from the SAP Business One data object unconditionally).

Step 8. Optionally define the per-field mapping.

Step 9. Add more transformations if needed.

Load data in SAP Business One

Loading data in SAP Business One is similar to loading data into a relational database.

Step 1. Create a source Connection and a Format (if needed).

Step 2. Create a destination SAP Business One Connection.

Step 3. Create a Flow where the destination is a database.

Step 4. Add new source-to-destination transformation.

Step 5. Select FROM and TO Connections and objects (also a FROM Format if needed).

Step 6. Optionally define the per-field Mapping.

Step 7. Add more transformations if needed.

Browse data in SAP Business One

You must have SAP Business One Connection to browse objects and run SQL queries.

Use Etlworks Explorer to browse data and metadata in SAP Business One as well as execute DML and SELECT queries against the SAP Business One Connection.
